Renewable Energy Consumption: Tajikistan

Analysis# Tajikistan Renewable Energy Consumption Tajikistan's renewable energy consumption stood at 34.9% of total energy in 2021, a significant decline from its all-time peak of 64.6% in 2003. Despite this drop, the country remains well above its 1990 low of 29.6%, reflecting a net gain of 17.9 percentage points over three decades. The gap between current and peak levels reveals a major shift in the country's energy profile over the past two decades. The most striking trend emerges from 2012 onward, when renewable consumption declined sharply from 55.8% to 34.9% by 2021—a consistent annual decrease of roughly one percentage point per year. This nine-year downward trajectory suggests growing reliance on non-renewable energy sources, possibly driven by economic development and rising energy demand. The current trajectory indicates further erosion of renewable energy's share unless policy interventions reverse course.
